Look at any photo of L’Eroica and you will find a hill. Well, that’s what you call them before you try to climb them. At L’Eroica, it is rare to find yourself stuck to the wheel of the rider in front of you; such things happen in races.

We want to thank each of you. There were 8,000 of you and all of us together succeeded in making the event intimate, where cycling and our old bikes helped us torealise a dream, getting us all together in one enormous embrace.
